Hobo Joe's cyber bus-shelter

Ah, Hobo Joe. He's an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle. You either love him or hate him & most people hate him. But where does one begin to describe the man who's other nickname is "Nudge"?

Firstly, something has to be said about the man's dress sense. He has three favourite colours & they're all black. A Hobo Joe ensemble for a night on the town usually consists of Black Doc Martens that are about eight years old, black jeans that haven't seen a wash for months & a black silky, flowing shirt with a cigarette hole in it. And don't start me on the jewellry.Maybe he needs to go here to cop some fashion tips


Hobo is also know sometimes by the name "Mr Insufficient funds" after a certain incident in the Royal hotel at Randwick. Hobo tried, no less than three times to withdraw money from the atm, and got rejected due to "insufficient funds both times". You can see two of the receipts with salvaged from the atm (not the times).



Hobo Joe is always the life of the party, it's as if he's got an endless supply of energy from somewhere. Often he doesn't return home for days on end, causing one wag in the group to state that Hobo's curfew is 2003. Maybe it's because of his dodgy accent, or maybe it's because he has no conscience, but when you go out with Hobo Joe you meet the weirdest & crustiest dregs that this city can offer. Often he meets them here

Hobo Joe's taste in women can only be described as interesting. He's picked up some strange looking creatures over the years, the average romance lasting about 5 minutes. Most of these lucky people cannot be described as glamours, in fact we're not even sure if some of them were human. But I guess you can't expect too much from a bloke whose favourite pick-up line is "Excuse me, would you like to have sex with me", spoken in that accent. He is most often successful with this line at the place below at around 6am

When it comes to academics, HJ is not one to talk about his own achievements. Thats beacause he hasn't done anything at Uni except drink beer & play pinball. He's going so well that he may progress to second year in 2000-Fifth times a charm, eh Hobo Joe? When he finishes Uni, a great career as a telemarketer beckons or maybe a stint as a door-to-door salesman. Good luck Joe, and god speed.

Hobo works his way through another case

Take me back, this bloke smells, and I'm not too sure about his jewellry either...
